But it was a little bit different for Maurice Kingston. It was 1974 and he was listening to the radio one night in London when the disc jockey put on Glenn Miller's "Chattanooga Choo Choo." It suddenly awakened old memories of a war, a ballroom and a girl. So Kingston wrote a letter to the Oakland Tribune, which was printed on Page One.

BEAUMONT, Texas --- The Sun Co. tanker, "America Sun," was tied up at the foot of Stillwell Boulevard in Port Arthur Tuesday. The Goodyear Tire & Rubber Co. blimp, "America," floated gently over the peaceful waters of Lake Sabine, off Port Arthur, Tuesday. Workmen went about their d aily routines at the giant refineries and chemical plants in Jefferson and Orange counties. The flying red horse of Mobil Oil, the names Gulf and Texaco on the oil tanks, the names DuPont and Arco on the long lines of railroad carriers symbolized the strength to the nation's economy this region supplies. At high noon , Tuesday, Vic Rogers of Beaumont, chairman of Beaumont's Bicentennial Commission paid tribute to the "Spirit of '76." He presented to Calvin Smith, director of Gladys City Museum and Spindletop Museum at Lamar University, key documents which Rogers said "will assume ever greater historical value in the years to come."

To Smith, Rogers and Beaumont Mayor Ken Ritter handed a signed letter from the nation's First Lady, Betty Ford. She visited Gladys City Museum in the Spring and photographers snapped her picture doing the square dance on the wooden boards. Visitors in Beaumont motels today see her picture in famous scenes about Beaumont. "Mrs. Ford said this was one of the finest Bicentennial projects she had seen in her travels this year, and she traveled extensively across the nation," Rogers said. "She'll remember Beaumont. She'll remember the warm hospitality of Beaumont. "That's what Beaumonters are known for: their warm hospitality," Rogers said. On permanent display, Rogers continued, "will be a letter from the President of the United States, Gerald R. Ford." Also presented were documents from Mayor Ritter, Gov. Dolph Briscoe and his wife, Janey.

They will preserve the past and serve as a hope and inspiration for the future." He told the assembly of newsmen, cameramen, members of the Bicentennial Commission and the Lamar University family, "We have had over 40,000 visitors to Gladys City in 10 months. They represent 46 states and the District of Columbia and 45 foreign countries." A group of North Sea writers from the Aberdeen-Inverness area of Scotland, spending their first day in the United States, were in awe as they signed the Gladys City register under the name of Betty Ford. "We're thrilled," they said, and promptly wrote home about it. Just as the word of the Spindletop discovery in 1901 spread everywhere and brought thousands to Beaumont, this kind of press coverage and word-of-mouth endorsement brings thousands of visitors to Beaumont every month. Beaumont is a "must" for visitors from the British Isles. Another group of Scotsman are due at the museum this morning. They want to see the museum where Betty Ford danced. ###
